    Hydrogen: The missing piece of the energy puzzle
    Workshop

    Hydrogen and renewable gas are highly versatile fuels that can be used in all sectors of the economy. The potential of hydrogen and hydrogen derived fuels, to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy system is widely recognized by industry and policymakers. This workshop will discuss recent global developments, and identify signposts that will provide early indications of the role that hydrogen will play in the future energy mix, as well as providing an overview of the fundamentals of hydrogen production, supply, and use as an energy carrier.

    New Technologies for Measuring & Reducing Methane
    Climate & Sustainability Clean Tech Innovation & Technology

    Methane’s powerful global-warming effect is attracting attention from policy makers and environmental NGOs. Although energy users and suppliers account for less than a quarter of global methane emissions, reducing methane leakage is one of the energy industry’s most effective ways to reduce its climate impact. What are the challenges to the practical implementation of methane reduction measures? How should industry address the public’s perception of its responsibility for methane emissions? What role should the oil, coal, and gas industries take?

    Plenary - Energy Transition and the Future of LNG

    The share of LNG in world energy supply has grown and will continue to grow in the coming years. Recently, this growth has been dramatic. Across the world, LNG developments are being led by international majors, national oil and gas companies, and independents. While the current consumer appetite for gas is being satisfied by surging international trade, the transition by many countries to a new ultra-low carbon energy paradigm raises questions about how sustainable the surge in LNG will be. How long will the boom last? How will customers and policy makers assess the balance of environmental benefits and costs? How will intense competition among LNG suppliers change business perceptions?
